I have a project and I want to migrate the database files, but when I try to run the PHP artisan migrate command I get an error

I did a lot of searches, but I didn't get any useful results, please help me

it is my database file code:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateBlogTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->integer('user_id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('text');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('blogs');
    }

}

and it is an error message

    `table "blogs" already exists` is fairly self-explanatory. You can either go into your database and drop the table, or comment all of that out while you run the migration, and make sure to uncomment it when you're done. – aynber Jul 12 '22 at 13:05
  • So, table already exists. If you wish to rollback all the changes you have made and do a fresh install, do `php artisan migrate:rollback` and if you wish to undo only the last step, do `php artisan migrate:rollback --step=1` – nice_dev Jul 12 '22 at 13:09

  • Be careful - if your `blogs` table contains real data that you want to keep, you need to back it up before dropping (or don't drop it)! – Don't Panic Jul 13 '22 at 07:17

Like the error states, the table already exists.

This can happen when the first time you run the migration it runs into an error after having created the table.

Easiest way to solve this is to log into your database and drop the table manually and then run the migration again.

You can run "php artisan migrate:fresh" the existing table will be dropped automatically and regenerate the table
